Team Excello has announced today that they have picked up j1n to be their North American Counter-Strike team. Team Excello has had a few North American teams in their past we mediocre results at best will this time be different? Below is the official press release from Team Excello.

Team Excellois proud to announce the newest addition to our family. Excello has been very busy in the last weeks culminating in the announcement of ZOWIE GEARas our new main sponsor. With the help of our new sponsor we are ecstatic to announce that we will house a North American Counter-Strike 1.6 team. Please give a warm welcome to j1n who will now sport the Excello colors.

j1n has really proved over the last few months why they should be the team to represent Excello in North America. j1n is currently competing in all of North America's major leagues such as ESEA, CEVO, and ESL– and is in the top flight of each of these leagues. However j1n isn't here just to compete. They have come out right from the start to be the next contender to become America's top team. Boasting an undefeated record in ESL Invite, as well as sitting comfortably in playoff position in ESEA Invite, j1n has the motivation and talent to compete with North America's best.

To help in all their journey to the #1 spot in North America j1n/Excello has made an amazing acquisition. David "savi0r" Park will join in place of Don "b33f" Frainto add some amazing fragging power to the team. savior has played on some top teams such as x3o/coL in the past and he will surely bring much experience to the table.

Here is what CJ "cJ_B" Banarsee (j1n Captain) had to say about joining Excello:
"After talking to Excello's owner Alberto for time and time again, we couldn't think of a reason not to be a part of the organization. We needed an organization willing to give us the support and backing to get to the next level. Excello is already well known in the European scene, so they don't need much of an introduction. Playing under Excello will only help us in achieving what we've been working for. With the financial backing and support from their main sponsor Zowie Gear, we'll be attending WCG/ESEA Invite Playoffs LAN under Excello. Also with moving to Excello, we are going forward with a new player. Not new to the scene but to our history with j1n. David will be playing with us as we move forward and prepare for the upcoming events. Support us at #excello throughout all our future endeavors."

Here is what Alberto "tomahawk" Duarte (Excello Managing Director) had to say:
"I am happy to finally announce j1n as our new stone into the North American eSports scene. They have shown the right mentality and I am certain that this will be a great new chapter in Excello's history. Welcome and good luck Excello ones."
